Eighth-grader J-Cruz Munoz-Briones' winning art entry is actually mounted on a plaque he received for garnering the most votes in Artsonia.com's Artist of the Week competition. The 14-year-old DJ, as he is known at school, was among a dozen who were in the nationwide voting. Not only does he receive a plaque, which will be on display in Jennings' main office, DJ picks up a gift certificate for BLICK art supplies. Jennings CLC's Academy Coach Kennie Green tells us the school's art department also receives a prize for his work, a gift of $100 for its use. DJ's art teacher is Peyton Young.
